1205.1709 (M. Cannoni et al.)

New gamma ray signal from gravitationally boosted neutralinos at the galactic center    [PDF]

M. Cannoni, M. E. Gomez, M. A. Perez-Garcia, J. D. Vergados
We discuss on the possibility that colliding dark matter particles in the form of neutralinos may be gravitationally boosted near the super-massive black hole at the galactic center so that they can have enough collision energy to annihilate into a stau pair. Since in some phenomenologically favored supersymmetric models the mass splitting between the neutralino and the lightest stau, one of the two scalar superpartners of the tau lepton, is a few GeVs, this channel may be allowed. In addition, staus can only decay into a tau lepton and another neutralino. We calculate the gamma-ray spectrum and flux generated by the tau pair discussing the observability of the obtained features.
